When you shop gifts for family and friends at Christmas, it’s good to have a budget in mind.
Whether you’re looking to spend $50 or less, or $100 or less, you’ve come to the right place for creative ideas.
A hundred dollars stretches quite far, even on tech and gadgets which are notorious for being expensive.
You can find soundbars, headphones, smart home devices, and much more, all within your price range.
All of which make a great and thoughtful present, especially for someone that spends a lot of time on their computer, whether it’s for work or leisure.
To inspire your Christmas gifting this year, we’ve gathered a great selection of presents any recipient will be lucky to have, all for under $100!

The all-new Google Nest Mini Smart Speaker is twice as strong in power and bass and features improved voice recognition.

JBL CLIP 4 Bluetooth Speaker – Black
$69, was $89.95
With summer here, the temptation to grab your beach towel and head to the beach, or host a barbeque with your family and friends becomes that much more irresistible, but what makes both of these better is you can blare your favourite tunes.
The JBL Clip 4 Bluetooth speaker is ultra-compact and has a built-in carabiner. And despite its small size, it brings rich audio and a thumping bass wherever you go.
CYGNETT 20,000 MAH 18W POWER BANKBLACK
$74, was $99

$99
Working remotely has become a popular lifestyle change many of us have taken under our wing if not five days a week, at least one occasion. There’s nothing more distracting than taking a client call with terrible audio quality or noise in the background.

Dell Premier Rechargeable Wireless Mouse – MS7421W
$65.66, was $98
One of the common problems with most rechargeable wireless mouses is the battery life, but it won’t be a problem with this Dell Premier. A full charge lasts six months, and whenever you do run out of battery, just two minutes of charge provides enough power for a full day of work. Much better than using a trackpad on a laptop.
